Lab 2 (BIGIP):¶

Task 1.2 - Explore the app repo¶

1.2.1 explore the infrastructure as code parameters file:¶

1.2.2 view git branches in the application repo:¶

on the container CLI type the following command to view git branches:

cd /home/snops/f5-rs-app10
git branch -a

1.2.3 explore files in the app repo:¶

more iac_parameters.yaml

the infrastructure of the environments is deployed using ansible playbooks that were built by devops/netops. those playbooks are being controlled by jenkins which takes the iac_parameters.yaml file and uses it as parameters for the playbooks.

You can choose the AWS region you want to deploy in
You can also control the WAF blocking state using this file

Task 1.3 - Update the AWS region for the DEV environment (Optional)¶

1.3.1 Update git with your information:¶

Configure your information in git, this information is used by git (in this lab we use local git so it only has local meaning) - on the RS-CONTAINER CLI

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

1.3.2 verify you edit the dev branch:¶

go to the container CLI
go to the application git folder (command below)
check which branches are there and what is the active branch. (command below)

cd /home/snops/f5-rs-app10
git branch

1.3.3 Update the infrastructure as code parameters file:¶

edit the iac_parameters.yaml file to the desired AWS region. then add the file to git and commit.

change line: aws_region: “us-west-2”

to: aws_region: “your_region”

vi iac_parameters.yaml
git add iac_parameters.yaml
git commit -m "changed aws region"
